SHAKUHACHI

The Japanese Bambooflute

The shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese instrument whose origins can be traced back over 1000 years. It has a deep cultural and spiritual significance in Japan and was played by Buddhist monks and samurai, among others.

At first glance, the Shakuhachi is a very simple instrument, consisting only of a bamboo cane with 5 finger holes. But behind this simplicity lies an incomparably expressive instrument that differs significantly from other flutes.

The Shakuhachi sounds mystical and meditative and the next moment wild and eccentric.

Those who feel called by its sound often find in it a companion for life.
